Chapter 239 – I’m Going to Wait for Him (2/2)

Shen DaiYing took a couple of deep breaths while quickly blinking and then feigned a smile.

“Xiao Hua, who said I like him? I never said anything like that.”

“Hmm… miss, somehow your lie isn’t persuasive at all… if you don’t, then why are you crying?”

“Hehe, I’m not, I really don’t like him. It’s just… I feel very comfortable with him.” Shen DaiYing deliberately worded it and answered earnestly.

She didn’t like him, she just found comfort in him, seeing her smile as if she was relieved from a burden, her heart ached.

That’s because Xiao Hua knew that she wasn’t lying.

It was obvious that as long as she was with Lin Xiao, Shen DaiYing would feel at ease and relaxed, and when he left, she would feel stressed and anxious, especially when she saw him with another woman, it didn’t feel good.

There was something Xiao Hua wanted to say, but she didn’t know whether she should or not.

Shen DaiYing’s so-called comfort was indeed not liking him, there was no doubt about that.

Because her feelings were far more intense than simply liking someone.

Peace of mind, comfort, free and easy, or rather happiness… those kind of feelings are what some may never achieve in a lifetime, finding that would be finding a place where you belonged.

It was like Xiao Hua, no one asked it of her, but she still risked defying orders and came to Despair Island to look for Shen DaiYing.

She wouldn’t get anything out of it, but she enjoyed it and wouldn’t tire of it.

How she felt about Shen DaiYing, was probably how Shen DaiYing felt about Lin Xiao, they each found comfort in someone else.

“Oh right, I have something I almost forgot to tell you!”

“Oh?”

“Miss, you have to be careful of that maid from now on!” Xiao Hua turned and looked at Elena with a serious expression.

“Hehe, Xiao Hua, I already said that I don’t like Lin Xiao, it’s fine even if they have some unspeakable relationship, I just…”

“No, it’s not about that.” Xiao Hua gently interrupted Shen DaiYing and slowly added, “Actually, Elena’s not human, she’s a high-level demon, a red-eyed black cat!”

“W-what!?”

Shen DaiYing widened her eyed and almost fell down.

Seeing that she didn’t believe it, Xiao Hua told her all about the conversation she heard between Selina and Anderson, and along with Elena’s conversation with them earlier on, everything was certain.

Elena was a red-eyed black cat.

Now everything made sense.

Why she had such an exaggerated body compared to normal humans, her silver hair and red eyes, the disdain she showed towards everyone, why she looked so weak but could get out of danger each time… everything had an answer!

“So Miss, you have to stay away from her, that guy… eh? Miss?”

Xiao Hua originally wanted to tell Shen DaiYing this so she could persuade her to stay far away from Lin Xiao, but she noticed that Shen DaiYing misunderstood and her thoughts went towards a direction she never would’ve expected.

“Xiao Hua, you’re right… if that’s the case, they really don’t have a normal master servant relationship, and Lin Xiao must have had a reason to leave me behind to look for her. So he didn’t lie to me! His confession was genuine!”

Xiao Hua was flustered as she watched Shen DaiYing mutter nonsensically to herself, smiling at times, and frowning at times.

“Miss, what are you muttering about?”

“Wuu… I was thinking about whether there’s an opportunity to get rid of Elena, after all, the woman he likes is me. If I take the initiative, then… eh? Xiao Hua, what did you just ask?” She accidentally spoke what she was thinking, but when she noticed Xiao Hua’s strange gaze, she immediately corrected herself, “No, no, no, I was thinking that I should listen to you and stay away from them!”

“Sigh, Miss, you really…”

Even if Xiao Hua knew, she couldn’t do anything, so she didn’t waste anymore time and prepare to take her away.

“Miss, let’s hurry up and go…”

“Go? Where?”

“Of course go back to the lakeside camp.”

“Wu… no… Xiao Hua, we’re not leaving.” Shen DaiYing hesitated for a bit, thinking of something,

“Eh? Miss, you’re not thinking about going up to them right now, right?”

“No.”

She watched Lin Xiao chat happily with the loli Saintess, and the corners of her lips raised slightly.

“Xiao Hua, take me back to where he left me…”
